Why the Wii is revolutionary

The Wii is revolutionary in that it is made for non-gamers. Does it have the best graphics? No. Does it have the fastest processor? No. Does it have the most realistic looking and acting driving simulator? No. The most intense and hair-raising World War II game? Nope.

Does a 70-year old grandma care about any of the above? Nope. But can this grandma instinctively learn to Wii bowl? Yup. And that's why retirement communities are buying the game systems, even to the degree of a company called Erickson setting up multi-state tournaments across their communities.

Inducing more physical exercise would be enough reason to encourage these folks to bowl away. And any laughter and emotional uplifting would also be beneficial to their spirits.
